A Jersey City man charged with assaulting a police officer during an arrest Wednesday night in Hoboken later admitted to smoking PCP earlier in the evening, according to police reports.

Officers were near the intersection of Third and Madison streets last night around 10:25 p.m. when they saw Macellies Madison, 36, of Jersey City walk away from them and remove his shirt while punching himself in the head, according to police.

Madison was having trouble walking and seemed to not to be able to control his motor skills, reports said.

Officers called to Madison to check on his well-being and see if he was trespassing on Hoboken Housing Authority property, but he continued to walk away, according to reports.

An officer attempted to grab Madison at Second and Harrison streets after following him, but Madison then attempted to punch the officer before breaking free and running away, reports said.

Officers caught up with Madison near Second Street and Marshall Drive and tackled him as he continued to resist arrest by grabbing a nearby fence to stand up, police said.

Madison continued to push officers away until he was finally handcuffed, reports said. During the struggle, an officer received several cuts on his hand and Madison got cut above his left eye, reports said.

While wrestling Madison, officers noticed a strong odor of PCP and found a cigar sheet wrapped around a burnt substance with the same odor, police said.

When asked if he smelled the odor of PCP, Madison replied “I smoked it,” and added that he “did bad dip,” reference a bad reaction to smoking PCP, police said.

Hoboken Volunteer Ambulance Corps responded to the the officers and Madison for their injuries before transporting Madison to Hoboken University Medical Center, according to reports.

Madison was charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, defiant trespassing, and possession of PCP, reports said.

In addition, Madison was also charged with bail jumping after police found an open warrant out of Newark, according to reports.
